    1. Garcia/Matthysse winner
    2. Amir Khan (Mayweather claims Pac is a hasbeen but goes to fight Amir Khan? :rofl)

    There's also Bradley if he wins or a possible rematch with Ortiz :zzz. Possible rematch with Canelo.

    Who do you think the next 4 Mayweather opponents are going to be?

    definitely a 3 fight pac trilogy in there somewhere - all just a marketing smokescreen.

    Seriously, I hope it isn't khan. A farce. Maybe this mathysse/Garcia winner but they should both be pretty easy for Floyd to pick apart, especially Garcia. Boxing is really not looking that exciting around welter/jr middle anymore.

    assuming he beats Canelo, of course?

    1.Lucas/Danny winner
    2.Khan/Alexander winner

    or vice versa

    after that, I have no clue

    once again ... alexander seems like such an exceedingly poor opponent. No excitement at all in that match up. I wouldn't hold my breath on a Lara match up - but Floyd should still be able to take a counterpuncher like that out of his gameplan, even from the southpaw angle. Lara's potshots are a bit too infrequent to shut down Floyd, I think. Not a compelling style match up, either.

    khan and alexander are just not elite fighters. It's a shame they are the best the division has to offer.

    I'd be surprised if he ventures above 147 again. Going up for Canelo is worth the money, but no one else in that division is worth it. Scratch Lara off any list, he is virtually unknown and is a JMW.

    1) Garcia/Mathysse winner of Khan/Alexander winner makes the most sense.
    2) If Maidana beats Broner he could earn a shot.
    3) Thurman keeps winning.
    4) Depends on Bradley's promotional situation down the road, assuming he doesn't loose.

    There is plenty of time by fall of next year for another threat to emerge to fill the back end of Floyd's schedule.

    Apart from Mathysse no fight excites me at all...........except Pacman. He shou;d ust give the fans what they want and the world still wants to see Mayweather v Pacquaio

    Khan
    Pac

    Are the only two that I think will happen despite what Mayweather recently said.

    Good pay, low Risk.

    I cant think of any others apart from Garcia maybe, but you know how quickly star is made in boxing. It could be any reasonable fighter coming off of an impressive win.

    Why because they are bigger threats than Canelo? Its def. never going to be Lara. He brings no $ to the table, everrr...

    Forgot, if Kell Brook can continued to matched safely for another fight after Senchenko, than he gets in the sweep stakes. A lot of money to be made off them Brits.

    Floyd never had any interest in fighting Shane . He was backed up into a corner and had no choice but to fight Shane . Around that time Mosley was signed to fight Berto and Floyd was in need of an opponent . Shane/Berto fell threw due to that tragedy that happened back in Haiti so Berto pulled out .


    Floyd had no choice but to signed to fight Sugar . If he didnt , it would have been seen as the most clear and blatant duck of his whole career .


    As far as Canelo goes , showtime is responsible for this fight happening, not floyd . And even showtime almost could not make this fight happen When floyd started complaining that he doesn't want Canelo coming in at 154 .

    I guess you don't remember when Mosley ducked Floyd because of a toothache.

    It doesn't matter who Floyd fights with some people.
